Global Telecom Accelerates New Digital Services with AI

Download

This company is one of the world’s leading telecommunications groups, with a significant presence in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific.

A leader in network quality, the company prides itself on offering excellent customer experience and providing integrated, worry-free solutions. The company’s roots are in mobile, but its digital service offering has expanded dramatically across multiple channels in order to stay ahead of the competition.

This put enormous pressure on delivery teams to churn out multiple applications, devices, and maintenance releases. It’s QE processes could not keep up and service levels and customer satisfaction suffered.

Build digital infrastructure and foundation for enterprises to scaledigitization on patient Experience

Apexon developed an AI-powered testing framework to ensure that a diverse universe of devices, services and apps work seamlessly on the company’s networks.

Be Intelligent & Autonomous

Leverage data engineering to make strategic decisions and get digital right every time

Apexon implemented tools for predictive analytics and prescriptive insights based on historical data to assess risk level and test case failure probability for each area of an upcoming release.

The challenge
Heightened QE load & complexity

The rapid adoption of smartphones and next generation digital devices resulted in OEMs launching and updating devices at more frequent intervals. Similarly, new applications and digital services were also being launched to engage customers.

Unable to handle growth unassisted

The company needed a partner with the ability to leverage the latest digital tools and platforms to help it get control of its growing QE requirements for up to 40 different applications, 200 new devices, 25 different device families and 1,000+ maintenance releases.

Lacking technology solutions

The company needed a solution and platform that could leverage the latest technologies like AI, machine learning, cloud computing, and predictive analytics to manage their hefty yearly validation requirements.

Dated digital services

The inability to provide engaging digital experiences and service quality would lead directly to dissatisfied customers and revenue loss.

Difficulty keeping up with evolving technology

This explosion of applications, devices, and maintenance dramatically increased the QE load for the company.

Testing difficulties

Increased testing complexity further exacerbated the situation.

The Solution

Optimizing the qe process

Apexon set out to optimize the most crucial components of the company’s QE process using ASTUTE, an AI-powered accelerator tool that uses machine learning.

Using ASTUTE, Apexon provided predictive analytics and prescriptive insights based on historical testing data.

Leveraging data from past releases such as defect data and release notes – features implemented and defects fixed, ASTUTE provided risk levels and test case failure probabilities for each area of an upcoming release.
